So ... I worked at the backend part of Portato, making it fit for other system than portage. That's why it is more likely that an error occurres - if this happens, please report it_________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.

Changes from version 0.6.0:
- USE_EXPANDED variables (like LINGUAS, VIDEO_CARD) are now shown collapsed in the useflag list
- Plugin System (the "syntax" and "etcproposals" stuff is now implemented as a plugin)
- most important: Fully functionable Qt-Frontend

Check it out!

Short note: "syntax" UseFlag is only needed for the gtk-part to show ebuilds with syntax highlighting. Qt always does it.

/edit: Btw: Portato still needs a maintainer to get it into the tree _________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.

The ebuild from your overlay misses a dependency on x11-libs/vte when compiling it with the Qt use flag, and without the GTK use flag. Manually pulling in x11-libs/vte obviously fixes this, but it'd be nice if you could update your ebuild.

The only thing I used Kuroo for, is searching for packages, or viewing ebuilds.
I think I'll dump Kuroo for Portato though, looks nicer, and it's faster than Kuroo.

Oops ... Qt does not need vte ... but in the ebuild I looked, whether vte is built with the python useflag ... and it seems, that if vte is not installed, it crashes ... *fixed*_________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.

Alright, so I can safely remove it.

A few more things:
- Maybe the 9999.ebuild should be masked ?
- Could you add a .desktop file and possibly an icon? It just looks a tiny bit nicer.

Ahm ... the 9999 is marked as testing "~x86 ~amd64" ... the others as stable "x86 amd64". Complete masking is not possible - this is not done in the ebuild.

Hmm ... Icon ... I know, that it is time to get one ... but: if I am going to create it, it will look ... ehm ... not nice ^^ ... Perhaps - is there anyone who might want to create an icon?_________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.

Actually, vte is a gtk+ terminal widget. To be fully gtk+ free you would need qt equivalent, and probably a bunch more coding.

Coming along nicely

Say what ^^ ... Vte is only needed for the Gtk-Part ... Qt takes a terminal self written by me ... it has been just a small mistake in the ebuild ^^_________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.

Soo ... thanks to wolfden, we now have an icon - and additionally: the .desktop-files to make it visible in system menus. as portato has to be run as root, we added gksu/kdesu to the dependencies and they will be run on startup..._________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.

Thanks Now I can launch it from Katapult just like every other program.
However, the .desktop file doesn't work, at least not here. Pasting the command in a terminal shows this. Probably a typo ?

(which I think should mean 'No such file or directory')
Does this directory exist?

What useflags do you have set for portato?

/edit: Solved: Portage removed the plugin-directory if no plugins have been installed. Added "keepdir"-call to all ebuilds. So please update the ebuilds and try a re-emerge _________________Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est.
